Chapter 21

The initial shock of his lips touching mine wore down when my lips started moving on their own accord. His one hand was on my cheek while the other went to my waist. I kept my hands on his thighs. My complete attention was on his lips, they were so full and plump whereas mine were small and chapped. Just the thought of my lips touching his sent an electric current through my spine, giving me goosebumps. This is my first kiss and a damn special one at that. By the time the kiss ended, I was out of breath. I opened my eyes to see him. His eyes were hooded, as if he was in some kind of daze. I stared at his eyes, feeling vulnerable. It was a new experience for me and it was not embarrassing.

Yay!

He pressed his forehead on mine. I took that moment to catch my breath and calm my raging heart. My heart beat was off the charts while my panties were slightly wet. Suddenly, I had this craving for more. I wanted to taste his lips again, but I didn't want to come off as desperate. Soon, I'll taste them again.

"s**t" I heard him whisper and bit my lip.

I felt so shy, I couldn't even look at him. I now wish I had more experience, then I would not be this shy and blush like a virgin that I am. I hid my face in his chest while my hands encased his mid ribs. His arms hugged me closer.

"Are you okay?" he asked slowly.

I nodded without any voice coming out.

We heard Diya's cry on the baby monitor and broke our hug.

"I'm really sorry, we'll talk when I come back from the office. I need to rush. I fed Diya her breakfast." He said, getting up and pressing his lips on my forehead. I stood up and followed him towards Diya's room.

"When will you be back today?" I asked just to make sure.

"I don't know. The next two weeks will be more crucial. I will have to stay up late to clean up the mess", he said as he opened her room door.

Once he left for the office, I had my breakfast and called my friends. Diya was playing in her toy pool, so I had time for myself. I told them what happened in the morning and they squealed like that root thing in Harry Potter. We talked for a while and Arshi told me that Anil will be moving to Mumbai this weekend and wants to get together. I was up for that. I need a night out.

Around 1pm, I heard our door bell ring. I was in the middle of making Diya's food. I thought of making myself maggie since it's been so long. I opened the door to see a guy who looked like my age. I smiled at him.

"Hi", I greeted him, looking at the dish he was holding in his arm. It had something in it and foil rapped around it.

"Hi, I'm Harsha. Welcome to the building. I heard Aayush had been married and wanted to introduce myself and welcome you to the building. Here" he said all in one breath and handed me that dish. That was so sweet of him. He looked so cute, looking all nervous.

"Thank you so much. Want to come in? I was making lunch". He smiled and nodded. I know stranger danger. I can't invite a guy whom I don't know into the home when I'm alone with Diya, but this guy looks innocent and I didn't get any negative vibes from him.

"I'm Ananya, by the way," I said, closing the door.

"I know, I heard of the women's club in this apartment. You're the main topic of gossip right now", he said, chuckling nervously, and I laughed at his words. I didn't know I would get this famous this soon.

"Yeah, I met them yesterday. Do you know Aayush? Have you guys talked" I wanted to know what kind of a relationship he has with my husband.

My husband. Wow, it still sounds weird saying that out loud.

I led him towards the kitchen, where Diya was in her walker walking around there squealing and having her time. That girl can seriously entertain herself, she doesn't need anyone.

"Aayush and I met a few times in the building meetings. I actually liked him. To be frank, he and my husband are good friends-" He stopped right in the middle and looked at me with a scared expression. My mind took a while to register what he said.

"Wait- your husband? You're gay", I asked him and he nodded with a blank expression.

"Oh my god" I squealed, holding his arm, he looked absolutely scared of his mind.

"Do you have any idea how much I wanted to meet a gay couple? I've always wanted a gay best friend but, unfortunately, all my guy friends are straight", I said, pouting, and he smiled that reached his eyes.

"I'm glad to hear that". He looked so grateful that it made me frown.

Diya came rushing in her walker towards him. He bent down to greet her.

"Hey Diya, how are you honey?" He asked, pulling her cheeks. She showed him all her teeth, grinning like a fool. Both of us laughed at that.

"She's such a cutie pie, isn't she?" He asked rhetorically, holding her hand.

"Coo coo" she started singing and both of us laughed at her antics.

"Did you have your lunch?" I asked him and he shook his head no.

"Then join us", I invited him before moving towards the stove.
